Artist Statement

This series of oil paintings is about chakra theory based meditation. Each piece is based on a specific meditation and its focus on balancing a specific chakra. The connection between color, light and creativity is inherent in chakra theory and spiritual realization.
In these recent works, I have been interested in creating form and atmosphere by using a multi layered glazing technique of translucent color. These paintings have all been done in 2016 and 2017.
I have had a meditation practice for 26 years.
